Yeah I tried doing that and got the same results. I'm not sure what's going on.

I've been using Revanced since it was just the CLI app and for the most part it has worked well for me(until recently). I have had an issue where the patching process finishes with no errors and installs fine, but when I open Youtube and try to play a video it stops immediately. I see the video advancedby a frame or two and hear a split second of the sound, but it stops immediately. I'm using the most up to date version of revanced with the suggested youtube apk version. I have root, but I have tried installing with and without root and tried with and without microg. Ideally I'd prefer not to use microg, because it consumes a lot of battery. I've tried building it many times with the default patches and even just the adblocking patches and still can't find any combination that works.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Yeah, I do agree that it feels a little out of place on Android, but currently I have been using it because it still feels polished and I haven't had many bugs with it. Lemmy clients in general are in their early days and many are quite rough around the edges. I've had a lot of bugs with most of them.

Connect for Lemmy has a Material You style to it and feels like at home on Android. It uses your current Material color scheme and feels a bit similar to Sync for Reddit.

Wefwef is my top choice right now and Connect is my second favorite.

They're great skates! Some of the new color ways are making me want a new pair though, haha

I have some 2nd Skin liners with laces in my Them 908s and love them.

Came from sync to but have been here for a few weeks. Looking forward to his Lemmy client.

I am fine with the capitalized logotype, but I think the that the icon shading hurts its legibility at smaller sizes.

This is one of my most wanted features, too. It is especially needed on the fediverse, because there are so many duplicate communities from different servers. It would be really nice to be able to unify those fragmented communities into one feed.

It seems that the developers of Lemmy are hard at work trying to improve the product. The huge increase in users and traffic has shown some of its weak points under load. I think they are focusing on scalability and performance issues right now, so it might take some time to get to new user-facing features.

About two weeks ago they posted this: https://join-lemmy.org/news/2023-06-17_-_Update_from_Lemmy_after_the_Reddit_blackout

...which sort of touches on their progress and on improvements.

Thanks, I definitely will!

I've always wanted to see him live, but things always got in the way. One of these days I will, I hope. Does he play much of his older stuff or does he usually stick to the latest albums? I like both, but it would be nice to hear the breadth of his work.

It is significant and you will understand when you see the movie.

I loved it!

Spoilers Ahead:

spoilerThe fact that the sets were supposed to be fictitious/play-sets gave him an excuse to push his style into an almost cartoonish extreme. I enjoyed the nested levels of storytelling. There was a lot of humor, some of which was more outright than in his previous films. There was still plenty of more subtle and dry humor too. The eye candy was taken to new extremes with hyper-saturated colors. The framing/compositions, transitions, etc were delightful as always. I think the story was quite strong with a good and clever ending.

Some fun things I noticed: When the cowboy dude walks there are spur noises, even though he had no spurs. In many of the black and white shots, the characters eyes have a subtle red tint, I suppose to draw your eyes into their faces.

Did anyone else think the space alien looked like Salad Fingers (a reference for the OG Newgrounds crowd). https://imgur.com/a/mJNPDCR
